Drag a single handle on an anchor point in a path

Hello

I wonder how it is possible to drag only a handful of anchor point. Sometimes I have a path and some anchor points have only a handful of drag on. Now, I want to address the other handle _without_ changing the handle already positioned. Is it still possible?

The tool 'convert anchor' point allows me to drag the handles, but only two at a time. This always results in change in position of the handle already positioned.

Thank you

-Sebastian

Hello Sebastian,.

You can always use a plug-in like Nineblock software BetterHandles to accomplish this and many other manipulations of Bezier curve which does not exist natively in Illustrator.

  • Unable to set the anchor points of the path when the keyframes turned on...

    I have a layer of irregular shape who I am deformation over time (from smallest to largest). I am able to set the anchor points of the path to the forms I want, but once I put two keyframes for the path I'm interpolating a slide, I'm more able to set the anchor points for minor changes, for example, I am unable to draw the Bézier handles. If I disable keyframes, then I am allowed to adjust the anchor again, but that means I have to start whenever I need to make an adjustment. I have run successfully the concept but need to change several layers of form in this way, and not having is not access to the Bézier handles point of anchorage slows productivity.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks in advance,

    Sorry, I missed the rather obscure reference to an expression in the first post you. Had, I had to pay more attention I'd say disable the expression to change the path, and then select. Not being able to select a top with the marks of perfectly logical on expression because it is turned on with the full path is selected by the expression of all time. This is how work expressions. This seems to be a lot of trouble to go just to change the "timing" of a couple of keyframes.

  • I can edit the Bézier handles symmetrically with Anchor Point tool?

    In CC when using the pen tool on PC, I like the way that you press Alt and Anchor Point tool allows to modify Anchor Points and paths on the fly. But to convert an anchor point in the curve, the Bézier handles soar symmetrically compared to start but after letting go, I can only go back and modify the handles independently using this tool who loses the symmetry and therefore the sweetness in the anchor point

    Is it possible to edit the Bézier handles symmetrically using this tool after the initial conversion of the corner anchor to smooth?

    Thank you

    If you want to change the handles symmetrically, so that they are uninterrupted - direct face-to-face and the same length, you have to start over - drag - click on the anchor with the anchor Point tool.

    I don't think you should use the Alt key

    After that, assuming that both handles are uninterrupted, you can click drag with the direct Selection (white arrow) tool on the end of handles and the curve will remain smooth as handles to remain intact.

    so in short, use the direct Selection tool (press and hold Ctrl), if you want to change unilaterally, without breaking the 2 handles.

  • There is no handles on my anchor points

    Please can someone help?

    I tried to see the bounding box, ctrl and H, etc and there is still no handle for control on my anchor points. I've been Googling for 20 minutes and can't seem to find a solution. Help, please!

    Sally,

    You have created the Anchor Points with handles (smooth as opposed to the corner)?

  • Eraser tool connects the anchor points on a path

    Hi all.  I am working on a logo and can't clear the path of a circle.

    Here's what I did:

    First of all, I did an ellipse, then cut a piece of it with scissors so that it looks more like a 'C '.  Then, I used the pen tool to draw an upside-down 'v' in intersection with the circle. I'm trying to erase a little bit of the upper part of the circle, to make it line up with the vertical line of the "v", but whenever I try to use the eraser, he will eventually draw a line that connects two ends of the shape's anchor points, I just created.  Can anyone help?

  • Merge multiple paths to a single anchor point

    Hello friends,

    I want to create a perspective of illustrator grid to use with other software.

    I would like to know if it is possible to merge several paths to an anchor point unique to a single point perspective grid that can be easily changed by moving the anchor point in the Middle, as in the picture below.

    Imgur: the most impressive pictures on the Internet

    An anchor may reach only 2 segments of track. Your image must at least consist of 2, if it is not not 4 paths. But you can select multiple anchor points (not a path) and use the Panel line up to get them exactly on the same position. Later if you want to draw a rectangle with the direct selection above them, move them around and move these selected elements.

  • Delete just a handful of anchor point

    I can't find consistently to remove only one of the 2 handles to an anchor point. I can drag the handle in the anchor point, but sometimes it still there today and can be removed. Other times, he seems to disappear, as you wish.

    I would like to convert only a handful.

    Thank you

    Sonny

    With my copy of Photoshop, I can, using the tool Point conversion, convert the point a point of two handles to a point with a handle (with the ALT key down) or a corner (with no modifier key) point.

    With the down arrow key Alt I can drag a corner point to lengthen a handful in a single dimension.

    You people are not able to reproduce this?  This would be a difference between the PC and Mac platforms?

  • Illustrator: Starts a new path from an existing anchor point without continuing the path

    Is it possible by using the pen, or any tool tool, to start a new path to the exact coordinate of an anchor without the tool pen automatically linking the existing to the new path?

    CG,

    The guides are your friends.

    With the selected pen tool, you can:

    (1) use the P key after the end of the first path;

    (Somewhere, 2) click close and keep Clicked, and then hold down the space bar and drag it to align with the anchor Point of end of 1) and drag the handles if desired, and then continue on the street as usual.

  • Manages the lack of anchor points in Photoshop CS4

    I'm trying to burn an image in PS CS4 and handles keep disappearing anchor points as I drag and drop, when I close the path are without handles, and when I use the path selection tool anchor points appear but without handles, if I use the anchor tool convert a handles reappear but disappears as soon as it is deselected. I'm definitelty by clicking and dragging to create the path so that the handles are present.

    If you want to display the handles that form a section, then click on this article with the direct Selection (white arrow) tool and not with the path Selection (the black arrow) tool.

  • Metadata on the anchor points

    Hey everybody.

    So I have this site where I want to place a label of metadata as well as when you google, it comes with categories such as Contacts etc.

    Problem is that my site does not rest with the pages, but rather in a single page with multiple anchor points, in a system of scrolling. Can I add metadata tags to my anchor instead of pages?

    See you soon,.

    You can only add metadata to a page.

  • Add Remote Anchor Points?

    I often need to add anchor points to a shape when I bring it in Cinema 4 d to extrude and deform.

    The object > path > add Anchor Points only adds an additional anchor between the existing anchor points, doubling the density every time his race.

    It's not ideal for shapes with segments very long and very short segments. Short segments have not need subdividing, but long segments need several subdivisions.

    Is there a script or plug-in that can add anchors, based on the distance? Such as: Add an additional anchor point to a path every 10 mm?

  • You can connect two anchor points on a closed path?

    I'm trying to draw a line on one side of one form to another, but I want attached it to each path with anchor points and circulate not only in the illustration. Is this possible?  Is it possible for, say, add anchor points to paths that intersect and then remove the excess?

    Usually, when you add a anchor with the pen tool the next anchor point connects to a line (path) between the two. When I put the tool feather on one traced existing, it adds an anchor point to the path, but I don't know how to connect a line from there to another anchor point?square.jpg

    Like that, but actually connected to path with anchor points.

    Thank you

    Henri

    You can do however by drawing lines and with some effort, making it a compound path.

    BTW, the answer is no, you cannot do it, there is no way to do it in Illustrator.

  • Suddenly sees anchor point handles paths.

    Hello. I'm working on a file in Illustrator CS5. All of a sudden when you use the direct Selection tool - handles and anchor points are not visible without worrying whether selected or not. They are simply not their appearance. They exist however. When I click-and - drag to select an area where I know there is an anchor point and then I use the keys keys to move the anchor point - I see the path change. But I don't see the point anchor I'm moving.

    It's all the product only on a particular file. When I open a new .as file and try to reproduce the problem - everything works fine.

    Any ideas why this is happening suddenly? I guess I accidentally hit something to change a setting, but what I can't understand. I have checked the selection and display of anchor in preferences, but can't find anything different there when comparing it to a file where everything works normally.

    Thank you

  • on the set of paths, select anchor points and move the handles at the same time

    Select a group of anchor points, I want to drag the handful of roping and have other anchorage handles to move the same angle and length than I'm moving, I can currently do drag up the warp through the paths tool to get some sort of equal effect I want but that is not always the same ,

    I wish that all grooves (paths) to have the same length and angle of anchorage handles. Thus, they maintain their relations. But I want to do this actively by dragging one of the handles to anchor, not by a dialog with preview,

    (I would also be viewing live update of the race while you adjust, not just of the paths)

    move_anchor_handles.png

    Quite simply... You can not.

    At least not without third-party plug-ins such as XtremePath or Control Point. And even then, you must move the handles, do not drag.
